I received volume 1 of Takane & Hana from Viz for free to review here on my blog. Opinions expressed in this review are my own. Note: This review may contain spoilers for volume 1 of the manga. Title: Takane & Hana Mangaka: Yuki Shiwasu Licensed: Viz Release Date:  Dec 20, 2014 - Ongoing (Japan), February 6th, 2018 - Ongoing (USA) Length: 9 volumes (and ongoing) (in Japan) Viz will be releasing volumes bimonthly. Genre: Shoujo, Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy Geeky: 2/5 - No action, but a good dose of comedy could make this one appeal to geeks of any gender.

Please Save My Earth Anime and Manga Review

Today I'm reviewing a very old manga / anime which is often credited as being (one of) the first (widely successful) Shoujo manga. Its art and story influenced other mangaka like Naoko Takeuchi - In fact there are many similarities between Please Save My Earth and Sailor Moon. For example, both Please Save My Earth and Sailor Moon deal with lovers who were reincarnated on another planet having lost memories of their past lives and fated to meet again and remember sometimes happy, sometimes painful and sad memories. Both manga also focus heavily especially on the Earth and the Moon. There's super powers in each one, and tales of friendship, betrayal, trust, love, jealousy, greed, and bullying. Please Save My Earth is quite a bit darker than Sailor Moon. It's more violent, it deals wit...

I'm not as big of a reader as I used to be when I was younger, however, the last few seasons of anime have not held much to capture my interests, and being single again I find myself with too much spare time. So this past year I've been reading a lot of manga! One of my favorites, which is available to read for free on Crunchyroll, is "Orange" -- and a few days ago Crunchyroll announced they will be simul-casting the new anime based on the manga as well! I thought that makes it a good time to share my love of this series. I'm so excited about the anime adaptation! This review is for the manga version :) There may be some slight spoiler for the first volume - I have tried to avoid them and keep this as brief and condensed as possible but if you're worried, I'd recommend reading or watching
